Description Christian Nitschkowski 2005-03-01 16:46:13 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Since KDE 3.4RC1 I'm not able to scroll horizontally by holding down the Alt-key while using the mousewheel.
In KDE 3.3 and earlier one could scroll horizontally on webpages that were wider than the window.
When you now hold down Alt and scroll using the mousewheel in KHTML, you'll scroll vertically.

In KPDF it works as expected, so I guess it's a problem with KHTML.

I'm experiencing the same with a laptop touchpad suited for horizontal scrolling: I can no longer scroll horizontally in KHTML by using the touchpad or the Alt-key, but in all other applications there is no problem.

The Problem started with KDE 3.4RC1.
(I am also using the unofficial rpms provided by Suse.)
Comment 2 Germain Garand 2005-03-06 15:45:44 UTC 
anyone not using SuSE rpms can reproduce this?

it works fine for me, whether using real horizontal wheel or alt+ vertical wheel.
I tried with both a vanilla qt-copy and qt-copy+patches, same result.

Doesn’t work for me either. Scrolling horizontally with the laptop touchpad causes vertical scrolling in Konqueror, whereas in all other KDE applications it works fine.

Hope this bug will be fixed soon, because it really makes working with Konqueror harder.

Well, neither under Kubuntu nor under Gentoo this problem occurs. Seems to be a problem of SuSE’s smooth scrolling patch. (That patch is by SuSE, isn’t it?)
Comment 5 Richard Bos 2005-10-13 21:30:54 UTC 
Is this still a problem?

For me it is running suse10.  The kdelibs3 rpm changelog has as comment

* Mon Aug 15 2005 
- fix horizontal scrolling in KHTML broken by the smooth scrolling
  patch (#76565).

So packages created after the 15th should be working...., mine isn't :(
Comment 6 Germain Garand 2005-10-13 21:51:03 UTC 
that's a SuSE-specific problem anyway, so let's close.
Comment 7 Robert Moore 2006-05-07 15:00:04 UTC 
There's an issue on my Kubuntu/KDE3.5.2 system, too. ALT+left/right to scroll horizontally works until the the view has a page navigation history. For example, if I view one page in Akregator and click on a link to see another, and I want to scroll right then left on that page: the Alt+left action takes me back in the history, instead of back in a leftward direction.
